I have fun just getting the lawn mowed in the heatwave we have out here, I do it in sections - half acre of it and a pushmower in hundred degree temps is no fun.
The papers have been pretty much saying if you don't need to be outdoors, don't be...

I've been looking into places to get out to the big river around where I am, now that the banks by Ballard Slough (pronounced "SLUE") are closed. The only riverboats to be seen are tugs with a long line of barges out front of them, but there's something about the Big River that always did grab my imagination.

How big is the lost sea? Were those BOATS I saw in those pictures?
